I’ve been framed: Koena Mitra on six-month jail term
New Delhi– Bollywood actress Koena Mitra has been sentenced to six months in prison, in a cheque-bouncing case. The actress says she has been framed, adding that she will challenge the order in a higher court.
The case was registered against Koena in accordance with a complaint lodged by model Poonam Sethi in 2013. Following this, Koena was asked to pay Rs 4.64 lakh, of which Rs 1.64 lakh was interest component, to complainant Sethi.
“It is a court matter, so obviously we will go to the higher court to challenge the order. The higher court will give us an order (and) only then can we talk about it. Right now, I don’t have anything to say except that it’s a fraud case and I am being framed,” Koena told IANS over phone from Mumbai.
Sethi’s complaint states that Koena had, over time, borrowed Rs 22 lakh from her. When the actress gave Sethi a cheque of three lakh rupees as part of the repayment, it bounced, reportedly for ‘want of funds’.
At the Andheri Metropolitan court in Mumbai, Magistrate Ketaki Chavan rejected Koena’s arguments, which included her claim that Sethi could not afford to lend her Rs 22 lakh.
Koena said that her lawyer wasn’t present in the court during the final argument, so the order was passed without her side of the argument being presented. She added that her lawyers are currently working on a challenge plea.
“My advocate has to appear for the final argument, too, and the magistrate didn’t give me a chance. We will challenge this order in the higher court,” said Koena.

The two actors had earlier worked on “Judwaa 2” and “Main Tera Hero”. Both films were helmed by David Dhawan.
“Ram Gopal Varmaji’s ‘Jungle’ established me as an actor, Priyadarshan sir’s ‘Hungama’ made me popular, and David sir re-established me with ‘Judwaa 2’. So, I’m grateful for this opportunity,” said Rajpal.
The actor, widely known for his comic skills, will be also seen in “Bole Chudiyan”, “Jaako Raakhe Saaiyan” and “Maavan”.
I have a flexible image: Adah Sharma
Mumbai– From playing the possessed woman in her debut film “1920”, to a police inspector in “Commando 2”, Adah Sharma has tried a few varied shades in her roles. Her tryst with different roles continues in her upcoming film, “Man To Man”, where she plays a man who has undergone sex change to become a woman.
“I play a man who becomes a woman after sex reassignment surgery in ‘Man To Man’. It is a love story. I have received messages from the LGBTQ+ community saying they are happy that I am doing the role. I hope I have justified the opportunity. The roles so far I have got are different from who I am in real life,” said the actress.
Adah experiments not only with her roles but also her looks. Her experimentation with looks in the past has included tri-colour hair and wearing a dress with newspaper print motif. “Whether it is in South Indian films or in Hindi films, my fans expect me to do something different. I tend to do performance-oriented roles, and fans’ people’s expectations have given me the confidence to experiment,” Adah told IANS. (IANS)
